In a late Tuesday statement, it was said that the rocker, known for hits like “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?”, “successfully underwent a routine coronary stent implantation procedure.”
This procedure is designed to widen blocked or narrowed coronary arteries by inserting a tube that allows blood to flow more freely.
This month he was scheduled to perform several shows in the United States, including Las Vegas.
Now, “as recommended by doctors, he will dedicate four weeks to rehabilitation and full recovery before returning to the stage,” his managers reported.
“Unfortunately, this means he will not be able to continue the current concert tour performances,” the statement said.
The performer and songwriter, distinguished by his raspy voice and spiky hair, whose repertoire included numerous mega-hits in the 80s and 90s, continues to tour intensively despite his age.

In 2025 he wrote: “I enjoy what I do, and I do what I enjoy. I am in good physical shape, have thick hair, and can run 100 meters in 18 seconds.”
However, recently R. Stewart canceled several concerts in the US due to health issues, most recently on Sunday in Cincinnati. At that time, it was explained that the decision was made due to an “unexpected but minor medical procedure.”
In June, after falling ill with laryngitis, he canceled a concert in California at the last moment but faced criticism for attending a World Cup match the next day.
Later in June, he was seen receiving oxygen during a concert in Utah. He then told the audience that he had nearly lost consciousness.
